Mar262021

 

Here is a list of essential oils that can be introduced to your young ones.

Please note that in this case, a new born baby is based on being 7.5 pound or 3.41 kg.
If baby is under the average weight, I recommend that you wait until he/she reaches the average weight/age for using the oils, or see a qualified aromatherapist to create a formula for you.

From the age of 7, recipes can be used as long as the essential oils are administered at one third of the dosage listed.

From 13 years old, adult dosage can be used. However with Puberty now starting younger and younger, we recommend you use a minimum dosage.

Some books will list higher quantities, however in aromatherapy, more is not better and can be detrimental to one’s health.

Please note: Lavender is a stimulant as well as a relaxant… 1-2 drops to relax, 3-5 drops to stimulate.  It is also a very powerful oil (a natural antibiotic), and should not be used everyday as an immunity builds up to it, and then it won’t work on a physical level on the body when needed.
